Poincare Reveals Charming Side in Visit to Old Home French Premier Shows Gen tleness Unsuspected by Friends, During Trip to Sampigny. Bj Associated Press. Paris, Aug. 18.—Premier Poincare’s essentially legal mind, his high pitch ed metallic voice and his disposition tif to keep his own counsel have given - him the reputation of being cold, aloof and unemotional, but his visit last Sunday to his native village of Sam pigny in the devastated Meuse dis * trict, brought out hidden character istics and his charming tenderness with children. He spoke at the distribution of prizes to the children at the end of the school year. It was the first time prizes were given in the shell-torn village in the memory of the pupils, for they were all infants when war * interrupted classes. The premier told his "dear little friends" a thousand-year history of their once embattled homes, and spoke of the war deeds with tear glistening eyes and a voice that trem bled despite its vibrant ring. Takes First Vacation. "Never forget, my children, it was your fathers who did these things,” he said. “Let those among them who * did not come back remain always liv ing in your hearts; let those who are among you forever be the objects of > your love, your veneration." Two weeks ago M. Poincare took a few days' vacation, for ' the first , time since the war began, in his old home villa on the side of a hill over ***^lnoklng the village and in sight of tit. Mihiel. He went there alone and lis tened over a secret telephone wire to an official of the foreign affairs de partment of Paris who read the re cent British note on reparations and the Ruhr occupation. Talking to a friend the other day about his first visit to France. An drew AV. Mellon, secretary of the United States treasury, recalled that it was 44 years ago and that he came over with the late Henry C. Frick of Pittsburgh. They had occasion to go to a dance, he remarked with a reminiscent smile, and as neither had evening clothes, they rented from a store in the Latin quarter. He said he had been in Paris many times, but never had he enjoyed himself so much as at that time. Mr. Mellon made it known that his interests on his present trip were concerned with art more than fi nance or politics. Plan "American Room." Americans are writing about the war and peace to such an extent that an "American room” will be estab ■» lished when the French war library and museum are moved Into perma nent quarters at the Chateau de Vin cennes next year. There already are 8.000 volumes by Americans, and the museum blasts that It has one of the finest collections of American war posters. tlerrnan writers, too, have been busy writing about the war, their ^^--v'orks comprising 25,000 volumes. France comes next, not because the French have written more than oth ers, but because it is easier for the library to get hold of French works. This institution was set up by the government to develop the work started by a wealthy Frenchman who early in the war began assembling war documents.

EAT IN COMFORT j ^ At tha Henahaw Cafeteria It Is the Coolest Cafeteria in Omaha BEATTY’S Henshaw Cafeteria Hotel Henshaw V_/ Whadya Mean, Gasoline Cut? AinsworthGetsIt for Nothing Wreck of Two Tank Cars on Northwestern Railroad Spills 40,000 Gallons of Free Motive Power Into Tanks of Happy Flivver Owners. Special Dtapalch to The Omaha Bee. O’Neill, Neb., Aug. IS.—It is Imma terial to the auto owners of Ainsworth whether the .Standard OH company, tfce Independents or the local gasoline dealer has been making the graft on past exhorbitant prices of gasoline. They are not Interested In any price cutting campaign on gasoline now being waged, and the reduced prices will have to prevail for several weeks longer at least, to affect. Ainsworth gas consumers. Ainsworth started to get its gasoline for nothing last Mon day, while the competing gasoline dealers still were neighborly and on speaking terms. Its citizens now have enough free gasoline on hand, in bar rels, tubs, fruit jars and other con tainers, to last them some time. It was donated to them by the North western railroad company. The free pas era in Aineworth is due to a freight train wreck a mile west of Ainsworth Inst Monday, when a journal on a freight car on North western eastbound freight No. 122, broke and five cars were derailed as a consequence. Two of the cars were tanks, each loaded with some 20,0000 gallons of gasoiln^. The cars over turned as they w'ent in the didtch and soon a lake of gasoline was formed beside the track. A jitney driver who was passing when the wreck occurred, at once sent a telegraphic message to fellow sufferers and the response was prompt. A large number re sponded with barrels, tubs and kettles and good time was had by all. Consequently Ainsworth residents are not worrying about gas prices and none of the local dealers are going bankrupt selling below cost.

THE VALUE OF CHARCOAL Few People Know Hew Useful It Is in Preserving Health and Beauty. Nearly everybody knows that charcoal is the safest and most efficient disin fectant and purifier In nature, but few realize its value when properly prepared and taken into the human system for the same cleansing purpo®*» Charcoal Is a remedy that ths more you take of it the better; it is not a Irug at all, but simply absorbs the gases and impurities always present in the itomach and intestines and carries them aut of the system. Charcoal sweetens the breath after smoking, and and after eating onions and >ther odorous vegetables. Charcoal effectually clears and im proves the complexion, it whitens the teeth and further acts as a natural and eminently safe cathartic. It absorbs the injurious gases which rolled in the stomach and bowels; it lisinfects the mouth and throat from .he poison of catarrh. All druggists sell charcoal in one form ir another, but probably the best char coal and the most for the money is in Stuart's Absorbent Lozenges; they are •omposed of the finest quality Willow 'harcoal powdered to extreme fineness, hen compressed in tablet form or rather in the form of large, pleasant tasting ozenges, the charcoal being sweetened to >e «mooth and palatable. The daily use of these lozenges will <o«n tell in a much improved condition if the general health, better complexion, iweeter hreatir and purer blood, and the beauty of it is that no possible harm can result from their continued use, but >n the contrary, great benefit. Many physicians advise Stuart's Absorbent Lozenges to patients suffering rrom gas in stomach and bowels, and to dear the complexion and purify the breath, mouth and throat. They are also believed to greatly benefit the liver. Fhese lozenges cost hut thirty cent* a box at drug stores, and you get more ind better charcoal in Stuart's Absorbent l/ozenges than in any of the ordinary charcoal tablets.
